Before First Use
When your new ceramic cooktop has been professionally installed, follow a
few simple steps to prepare it for your first use.
• Most importantly, read this manual thoroughly to familiarise yourself with
the appliance. Pay particular attention to the safety instructions on pages
5–7. Refer to pages 8–9 for a picture and list of the controls.
• Remove any protective film that may still cover parts of the cooktop.
• Wipe the cooktop surface with a damp cloth or sponge to remove any dust
that has accumulated during transport and installation. Dry thoroughly.
• To help eliminate any ‘new’ smell that exists and evaporate any humidity
that may have formed on the heating elements during transit, switch
on
one cooking zone at a time
and let it heat up for 5 minutes at the
maximum setting. Place a saucepan filled half full with cold water on each
zone as you burn it off.
Do not burn off more than one zone at a time.
Any odour or smoke can be disregarded safely; ensure good ventilation.
• See pages 21–22
for basic operation instructions.
NOTE:
The first few times the cooktop is used, it may give off an acrid,
burning smell. This is no cause for concern. The smell will disappear
completely with repeated use. Ensure good ventilation.
Getting Started
Touch Control Operation
• All operations are performed by means of the touch controls on the control
panel. They respond to touch, so there is no need to apply any pressure.
Use the ball of your finger, not its tip (Fig. 7). You will hear a beep each time
a touch is registered.
• Make sure the controls are always clean, dry, and that there is no object
(e.g. a utensil or a cloth) covering them. Even a thin film of water may make
the controls difficult to operate.
• Each touch control has a corresponding visual display (indicator light).
